FarSmarter Government Contracting

We'd like to welcome readers to our new blog.  We've created this space to share U.S. federal government contracting news, updates, and information in an in-depth environment that allows for comments and interaction.  We will post articles and commentary, and we'd love to hear from you as well, so please feel free to reply to our articles.

By way of background, FARSmarterBids is a web-based service that aims to make contracting accessible to all companies, regardless of size and resources.  We are passionate about making the Federal Acquisition Regulation System (FARS) and associated regulations easy to find and manage.  We are also passionate about helping new and existing contractors navigate the maze of government websites, many of which have good information--like prime and subcontractor lists, contact information for contracting officers, and vendor outreach events--that is unfortunately obscured by the sheer quantity of .gov sites out there.

One of the keys to being an effective, competitive, and profitable contractor is staying compliant with the government's contract regulations.  This sounds easy to do in theory, but is hard to accomplish in practice.  Looking up a regulation once doesn't cut it.  These rules need to be at a contractor's fingertips, organized in a way that makes sense to him or her.  Our system contains a online Filing Cabinet that allows our clients to save and organize key regulations so that compliance is just a mouse click away.  Any information in our agency resource library, as well as any external link, can also be filed in the same manner.  We believe this kind of knowledge management is one of the most important things a contractor can do to be successful.

It's our goal to help contractors to bid more competitively.  To that end, we hope you find this blog interesting and informative.  Bid Smarter. Far Smarter.
